Binary package hint: evince
When the font path contains a directory with a (reported invalid) 'DejaVu Sans' font, the menu and dialog boxes are unreadable (boxes appear everywhere instead of letters LANG=fr_FR.utf8).
The font path may contain such a font in a dual boot system when the user has prepended a Windows "Fonts" directory to the font path (by linking it to ~/.fonts) and the DejaVu font is installed there (probably by OpenOffice.org 3.2 for Windows).
When the Windows Fonts directory is removed from the font path, evince is ok.
No such problem with other applications (Firefox, Gvim, OOo, gedit, Inkscape, Gimp).
Expected behavior
-----------------------
If the font is really invalid, it should be skipped and a valid one (which in my case in available in the standard font path) should be loaded instead.

Here is the evince stderr output:

Environment details
-------------------------
This is a dual boot system with Windows 7.
I have my Windows font directory linked in my environment to make all Windows fonts available in the Ubuntu environment:
ln -s /media/sda1/Windows/Fonts $HOME/.fonts
ls $HOME/.fonts/Deja*
Note that the file time AND file size of the fonts on the Ubuntu system are exactly the same as on Windows. However the content differ (checked with 'sum').

The fonts have probably been installed in my Windows environment by OpenOffice.org 3.2 (but I'm not sure).
